HOW IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Students can play a significant role in the push to end homelessness. You are bright, well-connected and have meaningful insight into how today's youth view various social inequities. The skills, passion, and commitment you bring to the table can help shape the behavior of your generation, including influencing your peers' understanding of how they play a role in bringing healing and justice to local communities, cities, states and the world.
